An Iredell County resident has won the largest digital instant jackpot in North Carolina's lottery history. As reported by WBTV, the lucky winner from Mooresville purchased a $10 Bison Bonanza ticket last Monday and won $1.3 million instantly. The publication urged readers to "Check your tickets!!!" to emphasize the importance of the win. The odds of winning this jackpot were 1 in 3.1 million, highlighting how rare it is.
Beyond the initial excitement, the winner, whose identity remains unknown, has a full 180 days to claim their life-changing prize. Joining past winners in the now burgeoning annals of digital jackpot history, the last sizeable win was recorded on September 7 — a comparatively modest $307,493 Wheel of Bonuses victory in Hudson. Following this win, according to the North Carolina Lottery website, the jackpot reset to $50,000 and has since then been on an inexorable climb until hitting this new record last Monday.
The Bison Bonanza ticket is making dreams come true for North Carolina residents. With such long odds, even those who climb Mount Everest might envy these jackpot figures. The excitement of instant games remains strong, highlighted by this record prize, the largest since digital instant tickets were introduced last November, as noted by QC News.
